Alia Bhatt is enjoying a relaxing Sunday at home with her daughter Raha. The actress shared an adorable photo on Instagram, capturing a sweet moment as she reads Baby Be Kind by Jane Cowen-Fletcher. In the picture, Alia is seen lounging on the couch with little Raha on her lap. Raha, dressed in a white tee and wrapped in a blush pink blanket, listens intently as her mom reads the story to her. The cozy and heartwarming photo gave fans a sneak peek into Alia’s special bonding time with her daughter.
Alia, who welcomed daughter Raha Kapoor with actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor in 2022, also opened up about navigating the challenges of being a working mother while also experiencing the guilt of neglecting her own mom.
In conversation with her mother, actress Soni Razdan, Alia spoke about how she wouldn’t want Raha to move out of home in her early 20s. Talking to The Nod Mag, Alia recalled, “I remember when I was pregnant and shooting in London for Heart of Stone, I couldn’t sleep for three days because I felt so guilty about how maybe I wasn’t a good enough daughter.” To this, Soni added, “She works hard on her mental health, but there are days she feels anxious about not picking up my calls or giving us any attention.”
Alia said that she couldn’t get enough time to spend with her mother because she started working when she was just 23. She said, “I was barely 23 when I moved out of the house. I’d be away on long shooting schedules, and sometimes you wouldn’t even know which city I was in. So that was a defining point in my life, and our relationship. But I do feel I left home too soon—and I won’t let that happen with Raha. Believe it or not, usually I’m a forward-thinking kind of person, but with Raha, I’m just taking each day as it comes. Papa recently told me: ‘If you don’t let Raha fall down, it will be the biggest mistake you’ll make because she’ll never learn how to pick herself up.’”
